HP Pavilion a1340n no VGA no signal after memory upgrade

Hi, I have an old pc that I wanted to add more memory. The PC is a HP Pavilion a1340n Desktop running XP Media Center 2005. I did all the updates for the OS and I can't get to the BIOS. The problem is that when the sticks are in both slots. I tried both sticks one at a time, one in both slots. The PC starts normal. The sticks are both 1 GB PC2 4200 DDR2 SDRAM 533 MHz 4-4-4. One is the stock RAM and others I just bought from Newegg. There is no graphics card. He runs the edge ATI Radeon Xpress 200 for Intel processors. I get no vga signal when both sticks are installed. the authorized maximum memory is 2 GB. I'm not sure of what may be the issue. Someone has an idea, what happens?

OK I solved the problem. I feel like a fool. A stick was double-sided with a total of 16 chips and the other was alone with only 8 chips. That's what was causing the conflict. I have to give credit to my friend with Georgia Pacific IS the Department to resolve the issue.

    Hi @JFR77,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook and no sound after a updated Windows 10. I uninstall that I listed in the audio, video and game controllers first and reboot the laptop. Then download the driver Audio IDT high definition (HD).

    You can try:

    1. a click right icon "speaker" (right)
    2. Select playback device
    3. click right speakers
    4 activate and as default
    5. click apply/OK

  • Satellite P100-219: overheating after memory upgrade

    Hello guys,.

    I've recently upgraded to 4 GB RAM in my laptop, and he did it again.
    Computer laptop stops immediately after awhile. CPU or GPU gets really hot. Works fan CPU, GPU was not used intensely. Simple web browsing/cat/emailing.

    What becomes hot however is part to the left of the memory/wlan compartment. Is it possible that a chipset gets hot after just upgrade memory?
    I tested the memory with Memtest + for more than 3 hours. No errors.

    Moreover, the last time that my phone was in ASP it had returned with DMI saying it's Satellite L20! I dunno if that could be related...

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
    mentorek

    You have blown the dust anyway? As you say, maybe another component is overheating rather than the CPU or GPU. The CPU/GPU heatsink can be shared with other chips.

    Have you installed RAM high performance? His best choose RAM that has the same Timings CASE/RAS as the original factory of RAM.

    The name DMI does not cause something like this.

    PS. If you're running Vista, you must pass the BIOS and driver nVidia on the Toshiba site

  • Y430A can not boot after memory upgrade

    OS: VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32-BIT
    CPU: P7350
    MEMORY: HYNIX DDR2 667 2GB

    I added a 2 GB Kingston ram on the connector 2

    First of all, it can be the start and connect to windows,

    but after a while, the system of suspension or the SCREEN BLUE DEAD shows,
    He cannot even get into the bios screen when I reboot it

    but it can be boot up if I remove and reconnect the memory

    Sometimes the machine can be restarted and works correctly, except if once I turn it off

    I tried to exchange the slot 1 and 2 with 2 x 2 GB,

    and also replace with 2 x 256 MB Hynix memory.

    but it does not work.

    The new memory is not faulty or is not compatible because it works very well if it autonomous.

    In short, if I install 2 x 2 GB memory, the system may start only once.

    Is it the BIOS problem or it's my mistake?

    Please help and sorry for my bad English.

    Thanks in advance.

    This is perhaps due to the incompatibility of the modules of RAM, working together. If Yes, than to change only the modules will help.

    Also looks like Y510 behavior when it was a fresh model - Y510 all were not able to manage two RAM modules. Update the BIOS helped. For now no new BIOS for Y530/Y430, so will have to wait.

  • Cannot install anything but XP after memory upgrade

    My friend had a hp630 running Windows 7 Home Basic, 32-bit. He went to a flea market of computers where they replaced the system memory with two new modules of 4 GB. The system running my end but apparently could not use more than 3 GB of memory by showing that 8 GB has been installed, he wanted a 64-bit system. Given that the system had been there for a few years and accumulated a lot of garbage, we have decided to do a clean install. So we deleted and recreated partition D: with Minitool Partition Wizard and tried to boot from an installation DVD. And here's the problem: no matter how much we have tried different versions of Windows, the only one that worked was XP with AHCI drivers embedded in the disc according to instructions on this forum ( http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on... ). both XP sp2 and sp3 XP worked fine. However, Win 7 32 bit, Win 7 64 bit, Win 8 32-bit, win 8 64 bit everything has failed in a similar way: they would go by loading files (Win 7 shows a progress bar while Win 8 showed a logo) and then to reboot (Win 7 without warning, win 8 after a brief demonstration of an error with a sad smiley).

    So the question is, how I approach this problem? Upgrade memory to do the system incompatible with Win 7/8? Unfortunately, the original memory module has disappeared, so I can't go back to the original hardware configuration. Should I try XP 64 bit? I heard that this is not the best system to 64-bit, due to compatibility problems (some have been resolved in later versions). I may try it anyway out of curiosity, but in the meantime would appreciate advice.

    Thanks for the quick response!  The machine has Core i3 - 370 M, which certainly is 64-bit capable. Windows ISOs, both legal illegal, don't miss, and device startup doesn't seem to be a problem, either: the computer accepts the DVD I did very well and copied the files from there, but then something went wrong.

    I did the format of the disk as the partition will, but I have not done anything with other partitions. Is - this possibe that Win 7/8 did not like fantasy HP partitioning? There are about 10 GB or partition so hidden, then 2 GB C: drive containing HP tools, then D: to E: and system for data. E: we did oursevles during initial installation for a long time it has so changed their size using MiniTool Partition Wizard. Windows XP has no problem with this disk layout, but perhaps the 7/8 behaves differently?

    Another thing I noted is that F11 at startup has no effect. Is it normal for a model that was sold without any Windows? Or is it possible that it reflects somehow the problem I have with installing Windows?  The absence of function F11 is because you have made changes to the recovery D: partition. Any changes made to the partition will delete the F11 recovery capacity.

    You will find that you have more success if you delete all partitions, then proceed with the installation.

    Let the Windows 8 or 7 Installer create and format partitions of its own during the installation procedure. Normally the C: partition is the system partition,

    I propose the first because you do a clean install instead of use the recovery disks created by the HP recovery media creator utility. Using the recovery media, scripts to create all the required partitions independently and install most drivers as well.

  • Tecra M9 - does not start after memory upgrade from 1 GB to 3 GB

    I am trying to upgrade my M9 memory with little success. I bought a 2 GB module which is the same existing brand and spec to the 1 GB module, but the PC will not start no matter what options I try. So far I have tried:

    * Addition of 2 GB for the accommodation of extension from below (3 GB total)
    * Withdrawal of module 1 GB under the keyboard and its replacement by the 2 GB module

    None of these options work. The PC gives no beeps or indications that there is a problem, the led lights on the way to the top, the drive led flashes and then it goes into a wait state. Nothing happens.

    For the record, I bought initially upgraded memory that wasn't an exact match and I am now on my 3rd module suspecting a memory compatibility to be the issue. This current 2 GB module seems to fully match the 1 GB as well as being twice the size. It is:

    HYNIX 2GB 2Rx8 PC2 - 5300 s-555-12

    I am running Windows XP SP3

    The TECRA is a PTM91A Intel Duo T700 CPU 1.80 GHz

    Any help would be appreciated

    Hello

    To me it sounds like the new memory module is not functional or not compatible with the laptop. Otherwise the cell would start without any problem.

    If you bought the memory module in a store, you have to take it back and ask for a replacement.

    I n t have experience with Hynix memory modules. For the upgrade of my laptop, I used Kingston memory and it worked without any problem

  • NB100 black screen after memory upgrade

    My NB100 works well with the Samsung 1 GB of memory which was included when I bought it, but when I replaced the screen with a new Kingston 2 GB 667 MHz (2 G/VR667D2S5) doesn't show anything when I turn on the laptop back, even if the LED indicators seem normal and fans inside its normal.

    I tried a replacement memory (same type of Kingston) - still no luck. I put the old Samsung back and the laptop starts fine.

    Any ideas?

    Hey Buddy,

    What NB100 you have exactly? What is the number of exact part of it?

    AFAIK NB100 supports only 2 GB of RAM. This means that you can install the module of 1 GB in each slot, but not a 2 GB RAM module will not work.

    So, if you want only 2 GB of RAM, you will need to purchase an additional 1 GB module because the NB has two memory slots.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L650 / 07C - PSK1JA-07C017.
    To get a little more life out of it, I've updated yesterday with a SSD and 8 GB memory.

    The SSDS works perfectly and I have installed OS and all the drivers and software.
    However, the memory causes a boot loops. I returned to the standard 2 x 2 GB memory at the moment.

    With the new memory installed, the computer startup-loops. When you try to start Windows, the computer will appear at the stage of loading Windows (the boot animation) and then restarts.
    I tried to start with the recovery discs, and it arrives at the stage of loading of Windows Setup, and then restarts.
    She will continue trying to start, then by restarting (then repeat), until I turn it off.

    I found the specs of memory recommended here:

    If I go into the BIOS, I see that the memory is detected as 8192KB. The Toshiba site says that this laptop is expandable to 8 GB.

    Is there something I'm missing?
    Is there another step I need to perform when upgrading their memory?
    I don't know why it won't boot with the new memory modules in that I put.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I assume you have the Australian model is not easy to find info on the hardware upgrade. What I can say is that model European uses DDR3 1066 MHz memory modules and 4 GB of RAM compatible a part PA3677U-1M4G number.

    It must be exact model described by microcens.
    I recommend you use the tested and compatible memory modules.

  • Satellite L450 - 13G - No WLAN signal after a few minutes

    Hello. I just bought a L450 13 G with Windows 7 pre loaded.

I can't get it remains connected, if I'm in the same room or the next day. I have also a few years L or U 200 (I think) and it remains connected wherever I am at home.

    What could be the problem?

    Hey Buddy,

    I assume you are using the preinstalled version of Windows 7. Is this good?
    If so try to update the WLAN driver. If you are looking for your laptop model, you will find the latest version on the Toshiba site.

    In addition, check the configuration of the router. If you use a MAC address filter, try to disable it. Try another encryption and password encryption.
    Also check the firmware if you use the most recent one.
